PAPER-HOLDER.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GRANDVILLE F. JONES, a citizen of the United States,residing at Exeter, in the county of Fillmore and State of Nebraska,have invented a new and useful PapenHolder, of which the following is aspecification.

It is the object of this invention to provide a holder, having pivotedclips, operating in a novel manner to retain a sheet of sticky fly paperin place, so that the same cannot be cast about by the wind, oraccidentally displaced from the support upon which it is placed,

With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope ofwhat is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings,Figure 1 shows the invention in top plan; Fig. 2 is afragmental section upon the line A-B of Fig. 1, the view showing theclip upturned at right angles to the body and spaced apart from thebody, so that one end of a strip of fly paper may be inserted betweenthe clip and the body. Fig. 3 is a section upon the line AB of Fig. l,the View showing the clip swung over so that it will bind a strip of flypaper across the beveled edge of the body and tighten the strip. Fig. 4is a section upon the line AB of Fig. 1, the View showing the clipturned down into alinement with the body and in a position to hold thestrip of fly paper against the Fig. 5 is a fragmental edge elevation, anFig. 6 is a perspective of the spring plate which serves as a pivotalconnection between the body of the device and the bar portion, of thepaper holding clip which cooperates with the body.

The holder consists, broadly speaking, of a body 1 and clips 2, theclips being pivoted to the side walls of the body and being adapted tobear against the end walls of Specification of Letters Patent.

the body, to retain the fly paper 16 in place upon the body 1, asclearly shown in Fig. 1.

In a more detailed description, the body 1 consists of a pair ofparallel side pieces 3, spaced apart. Strips 4 are secured in anydesired manner to the ends of the side pieces 3. The strips 4 extendslightly below the side pieces 3, as shown at 5, whereby to space theside pieces 3 apart from the support upon which the device is placed.The ends of the strips 4 protrude, as shown at 6, beyond the outer facesof the side pieces 3.

The clips comprise bars 7, to which are secured hinge plates 8, unitedby pivot elements 9 with the ends of the strips 4;, securing elements 10being extended through the hinge plates 8, to securethe bars 7 betweenthe hinge plates 8. The hinge plates 8 are resilient, and aretransversely corrugated, as shown at 11, so as to act as retractilesprings.

The outer, upper edges of the strips 4: of the body, are beveled, asshown at 12, to define an edge let. In one of the bars :7 of the clips,an eye 15, or like suspension device is inserted.

In practical operation, the fly paper 16 is placed upon the body 1, thebars 7 being tilted upwardly, into the position shown in Fig. 2. Thebars 7 are then swung into the position shown in Fig. 3, whereupon eachbar will bind one end of the fly paper 16 against the edge 14, thusdrawing the fly paper 16 taut when the bar 7 is swung down to holdingposition, as shown in Fig. 4:, the bar being engaged with the outer faceof the strip 4, thus retaining the fly paper 16 in place upon the body1.

.The plates 8 act, not only as hinge members, but, at the same time, actas retractile elements, adapted to draw the bars 7 against the strips 4,to hold the fly paper in place as will be understood by a comparison oiFigs. 1 and 5.

Havin thus described the invention, what is claime is A fly paper holdercomprising a body includin side pieces; strips secured to the ends 0 theside pieces and prolonged beyond the side pieces, the upper, outer edgesof the strips bein beveled; spring plates piv- In testimony that Ielaimthe foregoing oted to the en 5 of the strips and provided as my own, Ihave hereto aflixed my signa- With transverse corrugations; barssecured, ture in the presence of two witnesses. between the springplates, and adapted to GRANDVILLE F.
